2v8 Mode Gens

[ShadowDragon]

Just feel like only needing 8 generators to do is just too little to do. Gens seem to fly by so fast, and if your killer teammate isn't decent enough, or, playing someone like trapper, you're doomed to lose. Most of the time, anyway. Feel like they should either add two or one extra gen to do, or, make them take longer.

[Nightsong]

nah not really, killers are strong enough to counter that, you can basically just down any survivors without any counter play possible easily, make the gens longer and they will have to nerf killers

[Pierce Dalton]

You gotta keep in mind that killers don't have to carry downed survs anymore, so they have more time to chase survs. I believe that's the reason we got 8 gens instead of 10 or 9.

Not really. There's 8 of these guys. We can't chase all of them at once. Even when you do put them in a cage, they're rescued in just a few seconds

I've done 2 dozen matches, mixed between survivor and killer, and I've yet to see a single one get under 2 gens let alone finished. The fact it's been a constant 400% bonus for survivor also tells us that it's just so extremely killer sided that people refuse to play survivor.

If you're struggling to kill, it's a skill issue.

Yeah, right. 10 gens and you carry them to hooks, deal?

I think the intention of this game mode is to be fast. So I think it succeeds at that. If the killer duo is weak, they lose fast. If the killer duo is strong or the surv synergy is poor, the survivors lose fast.

They want this to be a fast game mode. If it’s obvious from the beginning who has better game knowledge,
Cooperation, etc, I’m fine with it not dragging out.

It's not a skill issue. We can't magically make the gens not be done. And it doesn't matter if there's 400% bloodpoints for survivor. That doesn't mean anything. People choose the killer role because this is the first EVER time we can play killer with someone. Everyone wants to try it

Okay, then gens take 500 seconds to work on. Deal?

Waiting for you to provide a good reason for that.

First you want more gens, now gens to take longer too? Sorry but this sounds like a skill issue.

For 2v8, yes, the gens should take longer, or add like an extra or two. Not a skill issue when there's nothing you can do about it

It is a skill issue, yes, but not necessarily yours. This is the first time killers depend on someone else to win.

It's still not a skill issue. Skill doesn't matter much in dbd. The game is still heavily survivor sided, even though we now have 2 killers.

Sure thing, DBD is a luck based game, skill doesn't matter.

Pretty much

I think a big problem with the balance of 2v8 is that survivors can still get items from chests. They can get a toolbox, flashlight, medkit, etc, and that will upset the balance in favor of Survivors. Especially when multiple get toolboxes and split up to multiple generators, 2 people to a generator can make the game feel unmanageable to Killers when 3 or 4 gens pop at the same time.
